What domain name are you using?  Also are you doing this from the same
dialog as before?  Because from the log output I would guess you are
using the settings menu instead of the account registering dialog.
Whether a crash happens from within the settings menu that would also
be important to know.  Also, are you running Orca by any chance?

That was not as illuminating as I had hoped.  If you can, download the
debug symbols package for linphone-desktop (or wherever the segfault
happens) from
http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/pool/main/l/linphone-desktop/
and run it under gdb to get a stack trace.
